[quote=Anonymous]There are all pretty old examples but I’ll give them examples of how it happens:

1) camera on a wrist strap in Madrid metro—I think they cut the strap but I didn’t even notice until o went to get off the metro

2) gang of kids in Eastern Europe swarmed me and started grabbing my breasts and crotch (little kids!).  The oldest (maybe a 15 year old boy) then unhooked by waist bag and started to run with it.  I also grabbed the strap as it was flying thorough the air and we had an insane tug of war over may bag while I was screaming help.  I won only because the kid was trying to vault a wall to get away from me and wasn’t well situated to win a tug of war.

3) bus in South America caught someone going thru my backpack outer pocket.  All I had in there was tampon so it was NBD but he was pretty smooth.

I’m a big fan f the money pouches that hook over your belt and then tuck into your pants.  I think the phone thing is hard because you often do really need it out to see directions or maybe doing an online tour or something or taking pictures.[/quote]
